You might be right about the world manifesting itself as Will (and Determination). Not sure how you came up with the idea that that "Will" belongs to you though.

if he changes sth in the universe it has its inmense effect in whole system because of the butterfly effect

>>5061

Just like some small part of the universe had an inmense effect on him. All of us are both subject and object, which is to say, essence.

>>5060

Will is not his? So you are in denial of free will?

I am not op but I would have started a thread with ' I am God ask me anything' when I figured out how to make it not look like a shit post. I'll post here though

I know everything ask me anything

What did Hannibal Barca say to his intimidated lieutenant before the Battle of Cannae?

Your will is not stagnant, yes? Over the years, then, the nature of reality would change as your will does. If your will is static, and is not physically part of you, than what makes it yours?

How do you know that every other human you encounter isn't an intelligent observer of the universe the same of yourself? How do you know your ability to perceive and participate in reality is unique?

If reality exists before and after your temporary existence, than how is this universe explicitly tied to you or your will? What happens to your will when you die?

The answer to all of these questions, of course, is that there is nothing inherently unique or important about your individual existence and perspective in this universe. Your actions and their consequences are what define your significance in the universe, it is no one's birthright. Your claim is derived purely from the enjoyment the idea gives you, not any semblance of reflecting reality. It's a silly and quaint position discovered by every thinking​ man when they realize they can choose to view the nature of reality in any way they close. The novelty and pleasure of the idea will fade shortly and you will move on.

What does this have to do with philosophy? He may have said somethings, or he may not have said anything at all. It was one or the other, and we can say this assuredly

>Your will is not stagnant, yes?

Depends on how you perceive infinity

>Over the years, then, the nature of reality would change as your will does.

Of course, The "nature of reality" would be subjective

>If your will is static, and is not physically part of you, than what makes it yours?

Are you implying that we are physical beings? We very well could be nonphysical beings, just as willpower, motivation, ambition, etc, are nonphysical concepts and metaphors to correlate and provide a narrative for physical phenomena.

>How do you know that every other human you encounter isn't an intelligent observer of the universe the same of yourself? How do you know your ability to perceive and participate in reality is unique?

How do you know that everyone isn't the same person?

>If reality exists before and after your temporary existence, than how is this universe explicitly tied to you or your will?

How do you know we aren't eternal beings?

>What happens to your will when you die?

The mechanism of will's connection to being changes.

>The answer to all of these questions, of course, is that there is nothing inherently unique or important about your individual existence and perspective in this universe.

I can't hold all these logical fallacies

>Your actions and their consequences are what define your significance in the universe, it is no one's birthright.

True but irrelevant. Also, isn't it your birthright by definition? This might arguably be our only birthright actually. Well not really this is all still bullshit since "significance" is subjective

>Your claim is derived purely from the enjoyment the idea gives you, not any semblance of reflecting reality. It's a silly and quaint position discovered by every thinking​ man when they realize they can choose to view the nature of reality in any way they close. The novelty and pleasure of the idea will fade shortly and you will move on.

More like, it's derived purely as enjoyment from considering the preposterous implications due to understanding the subjective nature of reality and how they could all be technically true; this being one of the ideas with even more implications that happen to have some novelty..

I propose polysolipsism. I am the only consciousness in my whole universe. Coincidentally, there are other universes, and e.g. yours overlaps with mine.
